The support below the coop adjusts its height from the ground, so the coop can be placed even if the ground is uneven. There are certain gaps between each layer of the cage, which is more conducive to the ventilation of the chickens. The chickens are separated by cage nets, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of mutual pecking.
Now breeding layers, it is popular to use layers cage for raising, feeding density is higher than other ways.So in the layer before opening, breeding should pay attention to the control of density, density should not be too high, each chicken should have about 10 cm slot.
